Chapter 822: The Vague Truth

A large group of people, including the eunuch Zhou Quan, have left Yamashiro Province, and they are at the Yodogawa dock in Nambakyo.

Muromachiden Seiyi Shogun and Ashikaga Yoshinori were stabbed, and in the process of conveying the news to the countries, someone came to tell the Ming envoys. The situation suddenly became tense. In addition to the eunuchs and civil officials in the mission, the rank of the guard generals was relatively low, so several civil officials and eunuchs temporarily discussed countermeasures on the dock.

There seems to be a slight debate about where the mission is going at this moment.

The people did not immediately get on the boat and leave the place of right and wrong; The reason is that the person who came to reveal the news was none other than the envoy of the Kwantung Governor and Uesugi Zenhide, who took the lead in contacting the Ming army last time.

However, the guard general did not care so much, he did not participate in the decision-making of the military aircraft, and was busy doing his duty.

The generals deployed most of the soldiers and horses with more than 100 people at the dock and formed a semi-circular defensive formation. Then they sent people to the nearby woods to cut down trees and try to build simple fortifications.

The soldiers hurried to make a horse rejection array. The main body is supported by a single crossbar, and there are three sharpened logs in each longitudinal part, which are tied to the main crossbar with rope in a way that is erected upwards and crossed back and forth.

Not only did the repulsion prevent cavalry charges, but they were also very effective against infantry charges. The Ming army could rely on firearms to resist the enemy behind the horse rejection array. When the enemy infantry rushes over, they cannot immediately attack the fire gun queue, and they need to destroy the rejection horse first; At this time, the Ming army could buy time for the formation to change for the firecrackers to retreat and the heavy infantry to step forward.

Uesugi Zenhide's envoy told Zhou Quan and others that the incident would not affect the mission, so they did not need to worry too much.

But what exactly happened, the envoy Uesugi couldn't say it for a while, and he could only clarify what had happened: Ashikaga Yoshinori was killed and died! Uesugi is explaining there in Chinese for foot-skimming.

The eunuch Zhou Quan finally lost his patience, interrupted the Uesugi clan's words, and said directly: "Who is a gentleman in Kyoto, who is a villain, or who is fighting for power and profit, who is for the world, our family doesn't care at all. Now we just want to know, does Muromachi still recognize this treaty? Can the rights and interests of our Ming Dynasty in Japan be protected? ”

Uesugi said: "The meaning of the family governor, the Ming court needs to re-canonize the king of Japan......"

Jinshi Liu Ming suddenly said: "The lower official thinks that it is better to leave this place first and return the treaty documents to the Chinese army camp." ”

Another Jiangxi Jinshi who accompanied him said: "Seconded, we have to deliver the things first." ”

This person is called He Zuhei, Wu Dechu's Jinshi, and at the scene of the signing of the "Shancheng Peace Treaty", he was the person who painted it. He carried the scroll with him, and he did not leave him when he ate and slept. He was so precious about his paintings that he had just said that he would deliver them, making people wonder if the "thing" he was referring to was a scroll.

After hearing this, Zhou Quan nodded and said, "It makes sense." ”

When they finally reached a consensus, they ordered the crew on the dock to get on board as soon as possible and set sail for Hakata Bay. Simple fortifications that had not yet been constructed were naturally immediately discarded at the docks.

Several warships sailed westward along a waterway with many islands and complex waterways, and the situation in Japan was turbulent, and everyone was inevitably a little worried. It wasn't until a few days later, when the fleet passed through the Guanmen Strait, that people were relieved.

During this period, Liu Ming met with the Uesugi envoys several times to learn about the situation in Kyoto, but he still did not know about it.

The scene at Hakata Port is different from what it was a while ago. Looking from the sea, the land is full of smoke and dust, and the Ming army is building barracks, fortifications, and dock facilities.

After everyone landed, the commander Sheng Yong first met with the envoys and his party, and then met the Uesugi clan in person. The Uesugi clan is just a retainer of the Kanto governor, and most of the inside information is unknowing.

But he finally said Uesugi Zenhide's secret order: "The new Muromachi Hall Shogun will be Ashikaga Yoshitsugu." The Great Ming Kingdom needs to re-canonize Ashikaga Yoshitsugu as the king of Japan. Before the canonization of the Yamashiro Treaty, a subsidiary document had to be signed, and the Ming Dynasty had to explicitly approve that the title of 'Ho Huang' (legal emperor) could be used in Japan. ”

The generals of the Ming army present were already angry, and one of the generals scolded: "The Japanese king who has just been canonized by the imperial court, those people in Kyoto have been killed, where is the prestige of the imperial court?" You are so bold and reckless that you dare to bargain here, I am afraid that you will not shed tears if you don't see the coffin! ”

Uesugi said: "In Xiameng, the governor of the family trusts him, and he can only participate in a few affairs of the Uesugi family, and this trip is just a messenger. The matters of each leader and strong guardian cannot be decided below, and they do not know what is happening. ”

Sheng Yong stopped the general's angry scolding, ordered the envoy to settle down temporarily, and then got up and left the Xingyuan hall.

He retreated to a slightly smaller tiled house in the back and ordered the Chinese army generals, eunuchs, and civil officials to be summoned. In addition, Yao Fang, a commoner, was also present, and the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who accompanied the army, could still listen outside the door.

After everyone saw the salute, Sheng Yong spoke first: "There is a very strange sentence in this messenger's words. How did he know that the new Muromachiden general must be Ashikaga Yoshitsugu? When the Uesugi envoy went to the Nambakyo pier, Ashikaga Yoshinori was suddenly assassinated, so why was the heir so determined? ”

People nodded one after another, feeling that Sheng Yong's question was very reasonable.

At this moment, Liu Ming stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Xia Guan has made some inferences in the past few days, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Say." Sheng Yong said.

Liu Ming said: "Before the signing of the Yamashiro Peace Treaty, the Muromachi Hall had no choice and could no longer continue the war between the two countries.

At that time, if the war resumed, the next major war would definitely take place in Kyoto. The Muromachiden should have realized that the Japanese army was no longer able to defend Kyoto and had to retreat to the Kanto region. However, the forces of the Kanto Kamakura Principality seem to be unwilling to go to Muromachi Hall to take away their interests; Xiaguan guessed from various signs that the Kanto Gongfang and the Muromachi Hall were very likely to have a grudge.

The war was already self-defeating, and the Muromachi Hall was left with only one way to negotiate and truce.

No matter how euphemistic and beautiful the words of the "Shancheng Peace Treaty" are, it cannot change its original appearance of ceding land and seeking peace, and the "alliance under the city", which is better than the "Tanyuan Alliance" in the Song Dynasty. The court of the Song Dynasty was still able to maintain the overall situation, and the power of the Muromachi Hall was obviously far inferior to that of the court of the Song Dynasty.

The practice of negotiating peace will naturally lead to a sharp decline in the authority of the central government in Kyoto, or it may no longer be able to lead the protection of the countries. The power of the Muromachi Hall is actually held by the three leaders and the four powerful guardians, which is like an alliance. The powerful guardians did not want to see the Muromachi Hall completely lose its authority and the countries became scattered. They need to find a way to maintain and keep the old system running.

Then each has a strong defense of the conspiracy and let the general of the expedition, Ashikaga Yoshitoshi, carry this black cauldron on his back, and a consensus may have been reached between all parties.

The Yamashiro Treaty had just been signed, and the fact that several of the great daimyo immediately returned to the feudal kingdom instead of entering the capital may support this inference. At first, they should have wanted to join forces to rebel, declare that Ashikaga Yoshinori was responsible for the defeat and peace, blame all the failures on Ashikaga Yoshimori's personal stupidity, and then re-elect a general.

But that assassin is rich? So that? Silly squid Zheng? Lemon Enzyme? 炝蜀8?俾? Incitement? Yang Lijian 8. 鼗づ Ya Industry Recruit O 螅?? Pancreatic title? Fear? 宄置挥惺に恪8?俾? Kill the slaughter of the sole? 8.龃頊Α=峁? Jia Aluminum Shun? Kill the big thing.

Ashikaga Yoshinori is dead, and it is impossible for everyone to support Ashikaga Yoshinori who is close to him, otherwise it will lead to grudges and infighting; However, the crowd wanted to maintain the original rules of power, so they had to choose from the Ashikaga family. Ashikaga Yoshitsugu is both the son-in-law of the former shogun and has a grudge against Ashikaga Yoshitsuri, so he naturally became the best candidate. ”

After hearing this, everyone seconded the proposal, feeling that such speculation was reasonable, and the only regret was that they could not find real evidence.

Civil official Hou Hai sighed: "The so-called martial arts are not martial artists? These people are no less conspiratorial than civil officials, and they are even more ruthless. ”

Ping An said: "The samurai of Japan are not simple martial artists. Didn't the samurai have monks and literati who wrote poems? ”

Liu Ming continued: "The Uesugi clan requested that an additional document be signed to expressly allow the use of the emperor's name in Japan; This was used as a condition for the new shogun Ashikaga Yoshitsugu to accept the canonization. This is to seek the favor of all parties for Ashikaga Yoshiji and try to repair the prestige of Muromachiden. This incident is enough to make people guess that those powerful people in Japan are not willing to push the system of overturning the Muromachi Temple.

And the assassins are rich? So that? Mulberry? Even-restored emperor and Huan Yu Lai Na Yin O Lu Yan gap ǎ 巳差厮功umbrella < 昕憷? Fortune? Male Breeding Harmonic Wren Terrier? Hello? The killing has benefited from it, but it still can't tolerate such a thing. Should kill the rich? So that? Mulberry? And then there is вtaking!

Sheng Yong stroked his palm and said: "Liu Xingren is very knowledgeable. ”

Liu Ming said: "The lower officials don't dare to be officials. During the trip to Annam, Xia Guan did gain some knowledge, and there are things in common in Japan. It can be seen that it is equally important for scholars to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. ”

Sheng Yong muttered: "What are the pros and cons of Japan becoming a plate of scattered sand and maintaining the status quo for our dynasty? ”

Liu Ming said: "Presenting the sacred recital, the lower officials suggest that the status quo be maintained, so that the situation can be more stable and clear." The reason why Muromachi Hall was willing to negotiate peace was because he was unwilling to give up the powerful industries in Kyoto. If the situation is too chaotic, I am afraid that with the strength of our dynasty in Japan, it will also be damaged. ”

Sheng Yong nodded and said: "First verbally promise the conditions of the Uesugi clan, and then send a fast horse into Beijing to ask for a decree, and get the edict and golden book to canonize Ashikaga Yoshiji." If the Imperial Court does not agree to the Uesugi clan's conditions, there is still room for reversal of the promise.

In the meantime, we can demand the fulfillment of the terms that have been signed, allowing the officers and troops to enter Iwami Province and Izumo Province, so that the major affairs of the Holy Lords can be advanced as soon as possible. ”

Everyone seconded the proposal.
